Arkansas state police officer Bill Sadler told CNN the search is on for people still trapped in the area, a rugged stretch of western Arkansas.

"The primary mission of the Arkansas state police working with local authorities right now is to get the living out of the area and locate the dead," Sadler told CNN.

Sadler said there are two helicopters in the area working to locate and assist rescuing the living. He said local authorities are providing search volunteers.
